TYRON BILLY-JOHNSON
Two-Minute Drill: Tyron Johnson makes remarkable special teams play to set up Raiders touchdown It's anyone's game going into the second half of the Week 18 primetime matchup, with the Raiders up 17-14 over the Chargers.
Signed to active roster The Raiders signed Johnson to their active roster Saturday.
Impact Johnson had been elevated from the Raiders' practice squad in each of the last four games, but he saw fairly minimal playing time. He'll continue to serve as depth at wide receiver in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers.

Back up to active roster Johnson was elevated to the Raiders' active roster Saturday.
Impact Johnson played 18 offensive snaps in Week 17, but he's yet to record a target with the Raiders. The lanky wide receiver has largely been a disappointment since surprisingly being released by the Chargers this offseason.

Reverts back to practice squad Johnson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Johnson played 18 of the Raiders' 69 offensive snaps and five special-team snaps, but he didn't record any counting stats. The 25-year-old has appeared in three games for Las Vegas this season, but he hasn't garnered a target across 21 total offensive snaps.

Gets elevated for Week 16 The Raiders elevated Johnson from the practice squad Saturday.
Impact Johnson joined Las Vegas' practice squad in mid-November after spending the first half of the season in Jacksonville. Accounting for recent elevations, he's made seven appearances between the two teams, gathering in two of five targets for 16 yards and logging 41 offensive snaps versus 13 on special teams. Johnson likely is poised for more of the latter than the former Sunday against the Broncos.

Back on practice squad Johnson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Johnson played just two offensive snaps and four snaps on special teams in Monday's loss to the Raiders but didn't record any stats. Even if he returns to the active roster at some point, he'll likely continue to serve in a depth role.
DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Up from practice squad Johnson has been elevated from the Raiders' practice squad in advance of Monday's game against the Browns.
Impact Johnson will provide the Raiders' Week 15 wideout corps with some added depth behind Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones, Bryan Edwards and DeSean Jackson. In that context, Johnson is off the fantasy radar until or unless he earns a steady role in the Las Vegas passing offense.

Reverts back to practice squad Johnson reverted to Las Vegas' practice squad Monday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Johnson played just one offensive snap during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The second-year wideout has made six appearances this season -- spilt between Jacksonville and Las Vegas -- and has caught just two of his five targets for 16 yards. As a rookie with the Chargers last year, he caught 20 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns.

Promoted from practice squad Johnson was elevated from the Raiders' practice squad Saturday.
Impact Johnson joined the Raiders' practice squad Nov. 18, just two days after being let go by the Jaguars. He appeared in five games with Jacksonville this season and 12 with the Chargers last season. The 25-year-old has 22 catches on 31 targets for 414 yards and 3 touchdowns across those 17 games. He'll look to provide depth in the Raiders' wide receiver group Sunday against the Chiefs.
DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joins Vegas' practice squad Johnson was signed to the Raiders' practice squad Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Rapoport adds that Johnson has a chance to get called up to the main roster quickly, so there's a chance he could make his Raiders debut as soon as Sunday against the Bengals. Johnson has 22 catches for 414 yards and three touchdowns in 17 career games split between the Chargers and Jaguars.

Roster Moves: Jaguars waive WR Tyron Johnson The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived wide receiver Tyron Johnson
NOVEMBER 16, 2021 • JAGUARS.COM
Inactive Sunday Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact Johnson played a season-high 13 offensive snaps and caught one of two targets for 10 yards during last week's loss to Seattle, but he won't be suiting up Sunday. Laquon Treadwill will be available as Jacksonville's depth wideout versus Buffalo.
NOVEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Two targets in loss Johnson caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Johnson played only 13 offensive snaps Sunday while Tavon Austin played 28 snaps as the No. 4 wideout. Marvin Jones, Jamal Agnew and Laviska Shenault appear entrenched as Jacksonville's top three wide receivers.

Tagovailoa to start, CBs Howard, Jones out for Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa will start but the Miami Dolphins will be without starting cornerbacks Xavien Howard and Byron Jones for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in LondonOCTOBER 17, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not playing in London Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in London, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Impact Johnson will be in street clothes for the second straight week while the Jaguars dress five other receivers (Marvin Jones, Laviska Shenault, Jamal Agnew, Tavon Austin and Laquon Treadwell) ahead of him. After emerging as a key deep threat in the Chargers' passing attack in 2020, Johnson has failed to gain much traction in the Jacksonville offense this season. While suiting up in the first four games, Johnson drew just three targets in total and played only 25 total snaps.

Targeted once in loss Johnson failed to catch his lone target during Thursday's 24-21 loss to the Bengals.
Impact Johnson appeared primed for an increased role Thursday after DJ Chark went down early with a broken ankle, but he ended up playing only nine offensive snaps while Tavon Austin stepped in as the No. 3 wide receiver after missing the first three games of the year. Even with Chark likely gone for the rest of the season, it doesn't appear expanded opportunities are on the immediate horizon for Johnson.
OCTOBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Two snaps Week 3 Johnson wasn't targeted and played two offensive snaps during Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Johnson barely saw the field Sunday, while fellow depth wideouts Phillip Dorsett and Jamal Agnew received one target combined on 13 total snaps. Neither of the three receivers will have much of a role in Jacksonville's offense while Marvin Jones, DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault remain healthy.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
One target Week 2 Johnson failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos.
Impact The 25-year-old was targeted on a deep ball during the fourth quarter by Trevor Lawrence, a pass which was intercepted. Laviska Shenault's shoulder injury appears to be a minor concern, so Johnson will likely continue seeing limited offensive opportunities.

Secures lone target Johnson caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Texans.
Impact Johnson and Jamal Agnew each played only nine snaps despite the fact Trevor Lawrence attempted 51 passes with Jacksonville trailing 27-7 at halftime. Johnson was claimed off waivers by the Jags after being waived by the Chargers at roster cutdowns, and he's unlikely to find much relevance in the offense while top wideouts DJ Chark, Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault remain healthy.

Jaguars claim WR Johnson off waivers from Chargers, add 13
Jacksonville claimed receiver Tyron Johnson off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers on WednesdaySEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Claimed by Jags The Jaguars claimed Johnson off waivers Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Johnson was one of the more surprising roster cuts Tuesday, failing to make the Chargers' initial 53-man team despite posting a 20-398-3 receiving line on 26 targets last season. He's already 25 years old, but even if his development stalls, Johnson could perhaps be useful as a deep threat off the bench. He has a shot to be the No. 4 receiver in Jacksonville, where return specialists Jamal Agnew and Tavon Austin are the other wideout options behind DJ Chark, Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Waived by Chargers The Chargers have waived Johnson, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact With Johnson and Joe Reed among those let go by the team Tuesday, the wideouts who made the cut for the Chargers' initial 53-man roster are Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Josh Palmer, Jalen Guyton and KJ Hill.
